Grand River Browns

[Robin Shortt]

Ontario's Grand River has some of the best Brown fishing
in the world. Its catch and release so it always has an abundance of fish.
There is also a good population of Rainbows and Brookies as well. I live
near the Grand,
so I know a lot about it. If you have any questions leave
a post.

Thanks Robin Shortt

Did you have an opportunity to read Martins "Fly Fishing the Grand
River". I just moved to guelph recently and am getting back into fly
fishing. I read the book and got a crap load of flies tied up now and
waiting for may.

Curious where some good river access points might be. The
conservation areas are a good idea I think. I dont want to go furthur
than Fergus and will most likely stay closer to Elora.

I remember fishing that river about 8 years ago. I scaled the walls
of the gorge (which you are not supposed to do) to get to what looked
like a long deep pool. Well, there was a hatch going on and although
I could not catch anything but the flies, I was getting bumped by alot
of fish.

The grand will be my new best friend.

In behind the racketball club between Fergus/Elora is a pretty good place.
Has a couple deeper holes on the opposite side of the river. Plus if you go
out Belside toward Belwood there are a couple pathways heading down toward
the river. Haven't fished it yet but looks really good. It is only about
1/2 - 3/4 of a mile outta Fergus, there are a couple auto shops on the right
and on the left is the pathways. Opening is April24. Barbless hooks, catch
and release only, no live bait.
Happy Hooking...

Yes that stretch from Elora to the bellwood dam is a an excellant area to
fish. The River may be a bit high right now with all the rain.
